Every poll is like:
"Should we eat our own shit?"
31% yes
39% no
30% don't know
but there are still people getting paid to argue for how Democrats can finely tailor an eat-some-shit message to win over the median moderate voter, of which there are zero.

This country is allowed to have tariffs. You just have to convince Congress that they're a good idea.
The President can hold tariff powers instead of Congress, if you can convince voters to amend the Constitution.
If you can't convince anyone of anything, rethink your ideas.

Trump: "If this country is not allowed to have tariffs, if this country is not allowed to have the president negotiate on behalf of it w/tariffs, we are put in a position where we're gonna be a 3rd world country. We can't let that happen. I think it's the most important case that we are gonna have"

I can't speak for anybody else, but for ME, it is my Christianity that informs what makes the Trump era so profoundly odious to me. Matthew 5 shapes my politics and ethics more than any theory book I've read. And i know there are hundreds of thousands of people who feel the same way in the US.
Here's a key exchange. Rep Chip Roy smeared protesters for not believing we have "no king but Jesus," but @anamariecox.bsky.social reports seeing many protesters in his district on No Kings' side with signs bearing more pious religious messages than his.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

The level of anger and violent rhetoric spewing forth from Trump, Vance & particularly Stephen Miller is profoundly irresponsible. There’s a reason societies depend on responsible public servants to model decent and ethical behavior—so that they don’t devolve and fracture into violence & hate.

Q: My condolences on the loss of your friend Charlie Kirk. How are you holding up?
TRUMP: I think very good. And by the way, right there you see all the trucks. They just started construction of the new ballroom for the White House, which is something they've been trying to get for about 150 years.
